According to AFP, Qassem al-Qadhi left his home in eastern Lebanon to buy bread for his family, but upon returning, he discovered that an Israeli airstrike had killed 17 of his relatives, including his wife, children, and grandchildren.

The attack hit the village of Zabboud in the Bekaa Valley, decimating his family in an instant. 

According to the 57-year-old, the only member of the family that survived was his 25-year-old son Hussein, who had left for his army assignment immediately before the hit.

"It was 11 a.m. We were all sitting in front of the house, and I went to buy them bread," he told AFP over the phone.

After he heard a loud blast at the bakery, he tried to call his family but only found body parts when he returned.

"Seventeen people -- including my son's fiancee and her mother, my wife, my three sons and two daughters, and seven grandchildren," he told the agency.

The strike killed his son's fiancee mere days before they were scheduled to wed. 

"We were going to get married on October 12, but my love is gone -- gone in a massacre. I don't know what to say," he expressed.

Now homeless and in shock, Qassem and Hussein are left to grieve their unimaginable loss, as they never anticipated such violence in their village, which is 125 km away from the border with 'Israel'.

Israeli aggression on Lebanon continues: Dozens of martyrs, wounded

The Israeli occupation continued its brutal aggression on Lebanon for the ninth consecutive day, committing further massacres against civilians by destroying residential buildings in the South, Bekaa, and Beirut's Southern Suburb.

In the latest massacre in the South, 10 people were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli attack on the town of al-Dawoudiya.

Israeli warplanes on Tuesday struck two residential buildings in the Southern suburb of Beirut as the Israeli aggression on Lebanon continues.

The first building targeted in the first raid was the Silver Tower residential building in the vicinity of al-Zahraa Hospital.

Another Israeli airstrike targeted the Gondoline locality near the Old Kuwaiti Embassy in Bir Hassan, Beirut.

Local media reported that smoke rose into the sky from the two targeted locations, while ambulances rushed to the scenes to assist the injured.
